Cars have got too big
10am: looking out my window traffic is backed up all the way to the town centre. I look on google maps it's backed up all the way to the M8. Big chunks of the M8 are dark red. I never used to see it like this.

I just reviewed Werner Herzog's Nosferatu The Vampyre, the film and 4K disc. I never liked the film much when I first saw it, as a teenager, but now knowing more about Klaus Kinski and Herzog's mistreatment of animals I like it even less. I can't separate art from the artist. #filmsky

This has what is called a THEME TUNE!.
When I review old things I like to do a little bit of research so that I can get the context right. It turns out that there is not much information on police corruption in 1970s London. It's almost like there has been a cover up. #tvseries #filmsky

Took a wee bicycle trip out to Dunoon and then Puck's Glen yesterday. Didn't quite go according to plan. I left my camera bag behind so had to race back from near Kilmacolm. Fortunately it was on the couch not the front step. To make up lost time I jumped a train to Gourock. #cycling #outdoors
